garab karat hai deh ko ��binsai chhin mai meet.
O friend! Humans are so proud of their body, but it perishes in an instant. � Guru Teg Bahadar Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 1428
Message: When you pass a good-looking person who wears a supercilious expression you know instantly that this is excessive pride of one�s body.
But this body or its charm or beauty is not permanent.
It withers away with the passage of time.
Why be so proud of a transient thing? Ultimately, everyone has to leave behind this body, beautiful or ugly, and depart from this world empty-handed.
